Mr. Higgins to the Rescue

About Mr. Higgins:

In 2014, the authors David Preece and Jim Webber adopted a black Scottish terrier who was a shy, nervous, and somewhat suspicious mid-life rescue dog. ‘Mr. Higgins’ (the fitting name he came to us with) gradually emerged from his shell and enjoyed his new life in his forever home. Still, on guard with most strangers, Mr. Higgins learned to return love while protecting his home and keeping his dads to their daily routines. Not a fan of pats on the head, ‘Higgins’ prefers a light touch on his sides and burrowing into a safe space. He loves walks, other dogs, treats, and – as a born outfielder – plays fetch.

A True Story Of Tiny Timm

Tiny Timm’s rear legs have never worked, but that hasn’t slowed him down. He has a feisty nature and never gives up. He’s special - he shows kindness to all other species of animals as well as humans. He teases Cooper, the cat, then puts his ears back and cuddles up to him for a short nap.

Tiny Timm shows us how a cute, fluffy bunny makes friends and how to bring joy to others. He senses when a child that holds him has special needs or might need comfort and he curls up in the child’s arms giving love and comfort. What he lacks in hopping ability, he makes up for with his personality and kindness. He’s loyal – he’s never forgotten how his brother, Tunnel, raised him and taught him how to eat and move around.

All of the animals here are rescues, and he loves to make the rounds and give each of them a morning kiss; they run up to him and say ‘Hi’ with a kiss. This book reflects a typical ‘Tiny Timm Day’.

Buto Meets His Famous Grandmother

Most parents start reading books to their children around two years old. At first, the characters tend to be imaginary or fanciful, encouraging virtues like sharing and tolerance. As reading skills advance, many kids gravitate toward more complicated, mystical stories over grounded tales. In my paediatric practice, I became convinced that reading content significantly impacts child development.

As I’ve seen with my grandchildren, reading shifts from fantasy to supernatural the older kids get, with less attention on relatable characters and environments. In writing Buto Meets His Famous Grandmother, I hope to bridge imaginative early reading to sophisticated young adult habits. The story features realistic figures for children to connect with as they transition into more complex fiction. All through the years of my paediatric practice, I was, and as I am now convinced the proper content of reading material plays an important role in children’s education and development.
